CHINESE NOISE VOICES FROM THE SCENE 004

THE3EYED

From South Tyrol to the HKV Stage at Dominator Festival 2026

01 Introduction

This article is part of Chinese Noise, a living archive exploring Chinese identity, underground music and cultural memory through 25 years of Hong Kong Violence.

For this edition, we sat down with The3Eyed from South Tyrol, Italy. Over the years he has built a strong connection with HKV, resulting in his first release on the label and now his debut on the HKV Stage at Dominator Festival 2026.

On July 18, he joins the HKV Stage at Dominator Festival 2026 for the first time.

02 Finding HKV

The first personal contact with HKV came around 2016.

At the time, The3Eyed was playing as a support act for his local crew Culture Assault at a small party near Bolzano in South Tyrol.

But the connection started even earlier. He had already witnessed Akira and Drokz destroying the Chinatown Cruelty stage at Dominator 2015.

"I got amazed by the skills of the HKV Sensei behind the decks."

The impression was immediate.

"It was clear we had to book this legendary man for one of our local parties as soon as possible."

What started as admiration for the music eventually grew into a genuine connection with the HKV family.

03 My Favorite HKV Track

Here To Destroy by Drokz & Hellfish

After twenty five years of releases, choosing a single favorite HKV track is not easy. But if he had to pick one, the answer would be clear.

"I just love how Fish's finest cuts and breaks blend together with the rawness of Grandpa's terror-style kicks."

"A true timeless masterpiece. One hundred percent dancefloor smasher."

Editorial Note: Here To Destroy served as the official HKV Stage Anthem for Dominator Festival 2023.

04 First Time On The HKV Stage

On July 18, The3Eyed will make his debut on the HKV Stage at Dominator Festival.

Just one week earlier, on July 10, he will release Give Me HKV!, the official HKV Dominator Stage Anthem for 2026. The track marks his second release on Hong Kong Violence and was mastered by Akira.

"Seeing my name alongside so many great artists makes me incredibly proud and motivates me to deliver the best I can."

Fans can expect a fast and energetic set packed with original productions.

"So be prepared for VIOLENCE. GIVE ME HKV!"

05 Learning From The Generations Before

HKV’s biggest strength has always been its openness.

"HKV became a major playground for alternative hardcore. It covers a broad variety of styles from slow to fast, industrial till terror."

What makes it special is the way different generations come together.

"It’s a place where the old gods and the young bloods can learn from each other and share their passion for the music."

For him, that willingness to experiment while respecting the foundations of hardcore is what has kept HKV relevant for more than two decades.

06 What HKV Means To Me

HKV means much more than a label or a stage.

"HKV means the world to me."
"It really feels like I’ve found a place called home."

For him, HKV represents a community built around passion rather than status.

"All that’s counting is the passion for the music. No matter who you are."

07 Favorite HKV Merch

For The3Eyed, the classic HKV OG Uzi Tee remains his favorite.

"I’ve worn it at a lot of gigs as well as in daily life. It feels like a second skin."

08 One Word

If he had to describe HKV using a single word?

DEDICATION!

"No half things. Always giving its best."

09 A Message To HKV

The3Eyed’s connection with HKV has grown over many years.

From watching the HKV stage from the crowd to stepping onto it himself.

For now, his message to the family is simple.

"Happy birthday fam."
"Cheers and let us head for the next 25 years."
"HKV. The brand you can trust."
"Competition is NONE!"
